I brought gas at 1.90 on the way home and drove past another station that had it at 1.80. It dropped 10 cents in real time! I wish I had a z06 because gas is worthless right now, great time to be a big V8! (...but terrible to be anything else unfortunately)

Is that for regular ? It was 1.61 for regular by my work.

I actually popped checked gas prices by my house last night since I was driving to the store anyway. Still $3.90 + for 91. Luckily I have like half a tank so I will outlast these stations. It’s also around $3.00 like a 5 minute drive away so...

Downside - nowhere to go (for a lot of people, including work).

Luckily, I'm not in oil for this collapse. Hope you survive this.

I just paid $2.24 for 93 in PA which is...unheard of. Some places by my friend in Ohio were down to $1.30 for regular this weekend, I was told . I’d be shocked if Oklahoma or NM wasn’t below $1/gal

I want to go fill up every gas container I have and wait until I can go on a road trip . I’ll have gas stored in flower pots, Yeti tumblers, and in the kiddy pool.

right - it’s super variable up here right now, I paid $2.48 for 92 a few days ago, but there are still stations selling it for a full buck more.

I’m in Ohio and passed a station on the way to work that had regular for $1.16. I’ll probably need to fill up in about a week and expect it to be even lower then.

This is more about the pissing war between OPEC and Russia than Corona, though, isn’t it?

Mexican oil is at ten bucks a barrel. Its ludicrous.

I’m still paying more than that for 87. I don’t know what the deal is.

I’d happily pay $8 a gallon if I could make this contagion go away.

The collapse in demand caused the price war. So Corona started it, Russia and Saudi Arabia just escalated it.

I mean, I wouldn’t oppose paying more if that meant it’d go away.

I don’t know. I’m in AZ and we don’t pay a lot of taxes here. Our gas prices are usually half that of CA. They’re almost the same now
